The Most Stylish Celebration of Geekery at New York Comic Con

There once was a time when comic book conventions were merely a marketplace for comic book fans. That was a long time ago. Now that comic book heroes and their resplendent on-screen representations have dazzled the entire world and taken over popular entertainment as we know it, comic cons have become much more than a place to swap your dusty copy of The Uncanny X-Men #94.

While most people don't have multi-million dollar budgets, computer graphics, or cutting-edge costume design to create the types of costumes we've seen on the screen for Deadpool, Harley Quinn, and the like, many fans still go all out for comic cons and flex their cosplay muscles. And Now that the New York Comic Con is in full swing, we wanted to recognize some of the most spectacular cosplayers ? those who skimped on no details when it came to both costume and make-up, transforming themselves into the stuff of legends.
